Human Endurance.
Benjamin c. Cortelyou, who lives just
outside of this city, is wonder
full example of human endur-
ance, writes correspondent OF
the New York Herald from New Bruins.
wick, N J. Some thirty years ago, while
employed on frame building, Mr.. Cortel.
you lost his balance and fell to the ground.
1t was discovered that his back was bro
ken and that he had received internal in
jures. He was conveyed to his home and
put to bed, and has ever since been unable
to leave it. For twenty-six years he has re-
posed on his right side, from which posi-
ton he has been unable to move. He IS in
constant agony, and his attendants rarely
touch him, so acute is the pain.
For six years he has been unable to sit
up in bed, and just before he was COM
peeled to abandon the effort his cries could
be heard long way from the house. Hun
dreds of physicians have visited the man,
but not one has been able to afford him
any relief. He has had over two hundred
attacks of erysipelas. Three thousand
ounces of laudanum and two hundred
boxes of pills have been given him to quiet
the pain. but all to no avail.
His wife died of broken heart several
years ago, and two children followed
shortly afterward. Two daughters, who
were sent out West twenty eight years
ago, have since married. but neither has
seen tho father during that time. Mr..
Cortelyou has just turned sixty years,
but looks twenty years older. His face
and head are covered with long gray hair,
while his general appearance is of per-
son in great suffering and pain.

The Fate of Worlds.

The earth, says Flamarion, was born;
II will die. 1t will die when its vital
elements have been spent or perhaps
by the extinction of the sun, in whose
rays its existence is suspended. IL may
die by the shock of celestial body
which it might meet in its path. but
this end of the world is the most inn
probable Of all. II may die, we say,
by the slow absorption Of its elements.
In truth. it is probable that the water
and the air arc diminishing. The
ocean, like the atmosphere, appears to
have been much more considerable
than at present. The crust OF the earth
is penetrated by the waters, which
combine chemically with the rocks. IL
is almost certain that the interior tenn
perature of the globe at ten kilometres
(about six miles) OF depth reaches the
boiling point and impedes further
descent Of the waters; but the ab-
sorption will continue with the cooling
OF the globe. The oxygen. nitrogen
and carbonic acid, which compose our
atmosphere, appear TO suffer likewise a
slow absorption - .Aykdnsase 1ravescs.

A LUCKY LAWYER.
He Makes a Small Fortune by Drawing a
Single Paper.

Single Paper.
A former Harrisburger, who once
held State Office, and is now resi-
dent of Philadelphia, was a lawyer by
profession, and. after leaving the serv-
ice of the State, he settled in q county
which was then greatly excited over tho
discovery of oil within its borders. Here
he hung out his shingle and waited TOR
clients. Sometimes they came, but
often they didn't, and his funds grew
lower and lower until at last it was a
question of bread and butter for him
and his family. Sitting in his office
one day with his head between his
hands. cursing his hard luck and
wondering whether life was worth liy-
ing, not a cent In his pocket and moth
ing to eat, he was disturbed by the en-
trance OF an acquaintance, who asked
him to draw up an agreement relating
TO The lease of some land and the sink
ing of an oil well.
"Tn do it if you pay me" said the
lawyer
Nov, see here. y said the man, you
know / have no ready money, but il
you draw up these papers I'll give you
an interest in the well. T"
II won't do it." said the lawyer
bluntly; '.you have mo money and are
fast on the road to the poor-house. No,
won't help you'll"
But You must" persisted the man
.you can do it. II won't cost you a
cent, and you must do it. Go ahead
now If lose, it is nothing out Of
your pocket. Draw up these papers,
you've nothing else to do.
Well. the lawyer to get rid Of the
man, drew up the agreements. and
took as his pay an interest in the oil
well
What happenedP
The oil well was gusher. and the
thick, greasy fluid poured out over the
derrick and made the poor devils WHO
were putting down the well fairly howl
with glce The lawyer was on hand
Just as excited as any body else, and
the very first chance he got he sold ont
for $l7, 900 cash. With his money in
his hand he fastened home and told
his wife Of his good fortune, and they
both rcjoiced.
''And now. mother," said he to his
wife. ''let's get out of this. I"
And they lit out for Philadelphia -.

A disreputable case Of tattooing is re-
ported from Agen, in France. Pierre
Bontemps, laborer, got drunk, fell down
In the field and went to sleep. After more
than thirteen hours he awoke and felt as
if his face had been bitten by thousand
mosquitoes. He ran to drug store and
there, looking into the mirror, doubted of
his own identity. The face he saw had
the look of full grown South sea islander,
with tattoo pictures of the most artistic
design. On tie forehead was displayed
the inscription: "No chanee" On his
right cheek appeared nude woman, and
another indecent picture on the left cheek.
The doctors of the infirmary are trying
every means to obliterate the tattoo, but it
is doubtful whether they will be success
full The perpetrators of the abominable
outrage have not yet been found.

THANKSGIVING DAY.
written for This Paper

And that no growing family
Does on the milestone grind him.
The married man can utter thanks
For Joys beyond a measure,
For home and children full OF FRANKS
And for wifely treasure. /.
Tho old maid truly may be glad
Because she didn't double,
For IL she had, husband bad
Might give her lots OF trouble.
The tramp, philosopher sublime,
Can realize the blessing
or having not TO waste his time
In washing or in dressing.
The wealthy man can bless his stars
That he can take his leisure,
And no economizing mars
His lazy life OF pleasure.
The poor man, too, can grateful be
That toll has made him healthy,
And that no fashions stern decree
Enslaves him like the wealthy.
The sick man can his praises raise
Because he isn't sicker;
The fat man can in many ways
BE glad he isn't thicker.
The fool can very thankful be,
Because, II he knew more, he
Would see he was fool and be
Deprived OF all his glory.
In fact upon Thanksgiving Day,
BE weather bright or murky,
Allcan feel thankful-in way
Except, Of course, the Turkey
NIB.
Should there be one who thinks he need
His thankfulness made stronger,
Let him be glad this piece he reads
Is not spun any longer.
